Leavitt, 28, told reporters aboard Air Force One that she plans to work for MAGA Inc., a Trump-aligned super PAC, though she did not specify her title or responsibilities.
The move sends Leavitt back to a familiar political operation. She served as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc. before joining Trump's 2024 presidential campaign and later becoming White House press secretary.
A source familiar with Leavitt's next steps confirmed to Fox News Digital that she is joining MAGA Inc. and said she "will engage in other opportunities yet to be announced." MAGA Inc. did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on her new role.
Leavitt said Friday's trip was her last official Air Force One flight as press secretary.
Leavitt confirmed her departure in a lengthy post on X, saying she made the "bittersweet decision" after concluding she could not balance the demands of serving as press secretary with being the mother she wants to be to her two young children.
Her departure also creates a high-profile vacancy in the White House briefing room. Trump has not yet announced who will replace her.
Archaeologists working near Rome's Colosseum uncovered eight rooms with mosaics and painted decorations that may belong to an ancient Roman firehouse.
